Years later, Em and Ez are now college professors, and everything in their life has fallen into place, except for one thing: they haven’t met their mate yet. And they know they are destined to share one. Then they meet Rosemary Moore. A shifter whose parents have already passed, Rose has been raised by her religious, disapproving, human grandmother.

And can they really protect her when the previous Alpha’s son is still out there, plotting revenge?
